  • 81 Drinking Games – FREE E-Book
    81 Drinking Games – FREE E-Book We thank you for your purchase of our Beer Bong. As a token of our appreciation, we would like to provide you this free E-Book loaded with 81 drinking game ideas. This E-Book was created by some of our best researchers who traveled the web from east to west and from north to south to find and compile some of the best drinking games that will keep your party alive and going. Enjoy!! Party Like Sophia 1 of 75 Game #1: Beer Pong What you need: Ping pong table Pack of ping-pong balls Pack of 16oz plastic cups How to play: You can play beer pong in teams of one or two players. You will need to set up two formations of 10 cups on either end of the ping-pong table. The cups should form a triangle, similar to how balls are racked at the beginning of a game of pool. Fill each cup with roughly three to four ounces of beer. Each team stands on either side of the table. The goal is to toss a ping- pong ball into one of the cups on the opposing team’s side. You can toss the ball directly into a cup, and the opposing team is not permitted to try to swat the ball away. Or, for an easier shot, you can bounce the ball when you toss it, but in this scenario, the opposing team is permitted to try to swat the ball away. When a ball lands in a cup, a member of the opposing team has to drink it.

  • The Joy of Drinking Games
    Thanks for choosing Perfect Pregame! The nights of wondering what to do as you pregame are over – no more defaulting to Kings or Beer Pong just because you can't remember the rules to any other games. Here are clear and concise directions for games using balls, dice, cards, and wits. Many of these games have different variations in rules and terminology, and the versions here are by no means authoritative. Like any drinking game, they are not meant to be taken too seriously. Have a great time, and use these rules as a starting point. We encourage you to innovate and add your own twists! Drink responsibly - remember that half the fun is knowing your limits and remembering what happened during your epic nights! Table of Contents: • Ball Games: 1 • Dice Games: 7 • Card Games: 12 • Other Games: 18 Ball Games Civil War Civil War is a beer pong variant, but it's a faster paced 3v3 format. Every player has their own rack, and shoots as quickly as possible at their choice of the opposing player's cups. How it Works Two teams of three players face off, with every player having an individual rack of equal size (three, four, six, ten – whatever). There are no turns as in traditional beer pong, any player can shoot at any time. The exception is if one of your cups is made, you must drink before you can shoot again, but you can also pass the ball off to another team member while drinking. Rollbacks of any ball are allowed and don't need to be shot behind the back, but it's usually a good idea to respect the middle of the table line, or else things can get violent or messy.

  • Racing Association Had Awarded the International Regatta in 1907 to Seattle, So the Contest for the Alexandra Cup Was Held There Early in July
    CHAPTER 5 Early International Races SAIL AND POWER As fae as the kecords go, the first international race in which a Vancouver yacht took part was in Bellingham Bay, at Fairhaven, on July 4th, 1891. The local contender was the Siren, a five-ton cutter, 30 feet overall, with 1200 square feet of sail area. She was specifically designed and built by Capt. Billy Watts, founder of Vancouver Shipyard, to outrace all comers. She had her workout in Burrard Inlet on Dominion Day 1891, when Watts outsailed Andy Linton's famous speed queen May, which was skippered by the old maestro, Walter Graveley. So Watts sailed to Bellingham with a crew consisting of J. W. McFie, Dr. Bob Mathison, D. S. McKenzie, Dr. C. H. Gatewood and Jim McKay. At Fairhaven he picked up a local man who knew the tides. The six competing boats included the Ariadne of Herreshoff design, considered the queen of Puget Sound waters. The race started at 10 a.m., with a nice westerly breeze of about ten knots. The first leg, six miles, was sailed with a started sheet. Siren jockeyed herself into the windward berth and boomed off with mainsail, two jibs and a club topsail. "After getting in the lead in the first half mile," Captain Watts recalled many years after, "the lug of the mast band at the shrouds pulled out, so I took in the kites. J. W. McFie, carrying a marlinspike and a piece of new one inch manila, went up that shroud like a cat and had the shroud fastened in less than five minutes.

Meier College of Science and Health Public Health - Community Health Education August, 2010 ii ABSTRACT Meier, K.A. Exploring the prevalence of drinking games and their impact on the health of club sport athletes at The University of Wisconsin – La Crosse. MPH in Community Health Education, August 2010, 91pp. (G.D. Gilmore) The purpose of this study was to first identify which types of drinking games are most prevalent among college club sport athletes at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse, and second, determine what health consequences are perceived to occur as a result of participation. The study was descriptive in nature and used a self-reported online questionnaire developed by the researcher to collect quantitative data. All 352 club sport athletes at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse were emailed the survey yielding 105 responses, resulting in a 30% response rate. The results revealed a 39% percent participation rate in drinking games with fellow members of club sport teams, with 17% of all participants being under the age of 21. Respondents reported the major reasons for joining a club team were “to have fun,” “to meet new people/make friends,” and because of a “love of the sport”. The most frequently played type of drinking game was team games (89%).
